Q36.5 Gregarius Hybrid Big Fade GiletExperience the pinnacle of versatile thermal protection with the Q36.5 Gregarius Hybrid Big Fade Gilet, a high-performance thermal race vest designed for the dedicated cyclist. Drawing inspiration from the unique characteristics and advanced technology of the celebrated Dottore Hybrid Vest, this gilet offers an exceptional balance of warmth, breathability, and aerodynamic efficiency for cool-weather riding. It is the perfect piece to bridge the gap between a long-sleeve jersey and a full winter jacket, providing essential core protection without the bulk.The heart of the Gregarius Hybrid Gilet is its innovative construction. It is engineered from a proprietary high-density knitted fabric, a marvel of textile technology designed to deliver light windproofness and crucial thermal insulation exactly where you need it most. This advanced material effectively shields your core from chilling winds on descents or during fast-paced efforts, yet it maintains an extraordinary level of breathability. This allows excess heat and moisture to escape, preventing the clammy, overheating sensation common with lesser vests and ensuring you remain dry and comfortable through a wide range of efforts and temperatures.For the 2023 season, the gilet has been updated with a new, more aggressive body-mapped pattern. This pre-shape design is ergonomically tailored to fit perfectly in the athletic riding position, eliminating fabric bunching and reducing aerodynamic drag. The result is a sleek, aero race fit that feels like a second skin, moving with your body and providing essential protection without ever feeling restrictive. The inherent stretch of the fabric further enhances this freedom of movement, allowing for an uninhibited pedal stroke and complete comfort.Adaptability is paramount in changing conditions, and the Gregarius Hybrid Gilet excels with the introduction of a new double-zip mechanism. This highly practical feature allows you to open the vest from the bottom up, providing instant ventilation during intense climbs or harder efforts while keeping your chest and neck protected from the wind. It also grants easy, on-the-fly access to your jersey pockets without needing to fully unzip the gilet. This level of micro-adjustable thermoregulation makes it an indispensable tool for managing your comfort on long rides with variable weather.Finished with a striking Big Fade design and weighing a mere 160 grams, this vest is the ultimate companion for spring and autumn training, chilly morning starts, and long alpine descents.Features:* Constructed from a proprietary high-density knitted fabric to achieve light windproofness and thermal protection combined with exceptional breathability* New double zip for increased adaptability and on-the-bike ventilation control* New body-mapped pattern for essential protection and a more aero race fitAttributes:* Gender: Men* Fit: Stretch* Material Type: Synthetic* Properties: Thermal, WindproofSpecifications:* Weight: 160g* Material: 80% Polyester, 15% Polyamide, 5% Elastane
